LOVE DRIVING, LOVE THE WORLD AROUND YOU
A love of driving and a love of the earth can—and indeed must—be harmonious. To ensure a long and happy relationship between cars, people, and our precious planet, Mazda is focused on developing the entire lifecycle
of its vehicles in an environmentally friendly manner. As Mazda introduces new sustainable technologies, it carefully considers the manufacture, usage, and the end-of-life recycling of its cars to minimize the environmental impact, so you can love driving and love the world around you.
OUR COMMITMENT TO PLANET EARTH
BY 2050, MAZDA WILL ACHIEVE CARBON NEUTRALITY DURING THE ENTIRE LIFE CYCLE OF ITS VEHICLES AND THE ENTIRE SUPPLY CHAIN.

LIFE CYCLE PERSPECTIVE
REDUCING EMISSIONS FROM MANUFACTURING
Mazda takes responsibility for the emissions produced by its cars, not just when they’re being driven, but also when they are made and when they reach the end of their use. To reduce the CO2 emissions during the entire life of the vehicle, Mazda uses a Life Cycle Assessment, which allows it to pinpoint areas that can reduce the environmental burden of car manufacture, delivery, use, and recycling.
It is our ongoing mission to reduce the environmental impact of Mazda vehicles at every phase of their life. We use a Life Cycle Assessment to measure, and subsequently reduce the emissions from our supply chain, factories, transportation, the vehicles themselves, and end-of-life programs.

MAZDA’S APPROACH
REDUCING REAL-WORLD EMISSIONS
FROM MAZDA VEHICLES
The right car in the right place
There is more to reducing emissions than simply switching over to battery electric vehicles. If the electrical energy used to charge these cars is not produced sustainably then the emissions are merely moved to power stations.
That’s why Mazda offers a multi-solution approach, providing a range of efficient internal combustion, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric cars to suit customers’ needs and the power-generation situations across the world.
Which Mazda is right for me?
Choosing the Mazda that is best for you and the planet depends on where and how you live. Mazda evaluated the CO2 emissions in the life cycle of internal combustion engine vehicles and electric vehicles in five regions of the world. It found that the CO₂ emissions in the life cycle of the internal combustion vehicles and electric vehicles varies depending on circumstances such as electric power generation, fuel economy, and electric efficiency for each region, and the total distance traveled. Based on the results of this Life Cycle Assessment, Mazda has adopted a multi-solution approach to provide the right vehicle in the right place. If the electricity generated in your region is low-emission and your journeys are mostly short, then a battery electric car may well make sense. However, if where you live relies largely on fossil fuels to generate electricity then charging an electric car will still create carbon emissions. In that case, a fuel-efficient combustion-powered or hybrid vehicle may well be a better choice.

MAZDA’S JOURNEY TO 2030
Mazda will introduce 13 new electrified models between 2022 and 2025: five hybrid electric vehicles, five plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and three electric vehicles.
Between 2025-2030, Mazda will introduce multiple electric vehicles.
Between 2025-2030, Mazda will introduce multiple electric vehicles.
By 2030, 100% of Mazda products will be electrified and pure-electric vehicles will account for at least 25% of those.
THE ROAD TO ZERO
Mazda’s life cycle assessment has a zero target: net zero CO2 emissions. Here are just a few of the innovations Mazda is making on the road to zero.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Mazda has installed solar panels at its head office in Hiroshima, Japan.
TRANSPORTATION
Efficient transportation throughout the supply chain reduces CO2 during transportation by over 40% compared to 1990.
(Based on our own research).
MANUFACTURING
Aqua-tech paint provides a finish that’s good for the planet.
DESIGN
Aerodynamic design saves fuel costs and emissions.
CARBON-NEUTRAL FUEL
Cleaner fuel expands possibility.
